Improvements

Revenue breakdown on the job Financials tab

The job Financials tab now includes a Revenue Breakdown panel that shows exactly how your revenue figure was built up: base revenue, plus any charter bonus, minus any exclusivity penalty. The bonus and penalty used to sit inside the Operational Fees section, which implied they were costs. They aren't; they're adjustments to revenue that were already baked into the Revenue total. Moving them into their own panel, alongside a new Base revenue line, makes the economics transparent at a glance. Help tooltips on each line explain what it represents.

Bug Fixes

Exclusivity penalty was being double-counted on completed jobs

On jobs that exceeded the capacity threshold (enough passengers for a capacity penalty to kick in), the Financials tab was deducting the exclusivity penalty twice: once implicitly (via the reduced revenue that had already been paid to your company) and again explicitly as a cost line. This made profit look considerably lower than it actually was, and in some cases showed a loss for a job that was genuinely profitable. Revenue, costs, and profit on the Financials tab now reconcile correctly. Your ledger and company finance overview were always right; only the per-job summary was misleading.

Improvements

Airport classification update (FSC-3938)

Two Spanish airports, Teruel (LETL) and Vitoria (LEVT), were classified as medium airports in the system despite both regularly handling heavy and super-sized aircraft in real life. Teruel is one of Europe's largest aircraft storage and maintenance hubs, and Vitoria is a major cargo hub used by DHL for 747 and 777 operations. This classification meant you could only build up to large stands at these airports, which blocked realistic heavy cargo and ferry flight operations. Both airports have now been reclassified as large airports, unlocking the full range of buildings, stands, and slots.

Bug Fixes

Partnership Editing: Save Button Crash (FSC-3931)

After creating a partnership, attempting to edit the partnership name, code, or colour and clicking Save would fail silently with no changes applied. This was caused by an internal issue where the save function could not reliably access the form values it needed. The save button now correctly reads the edited values and persists your changes as expected.

Bug Fixes

Aircraft could get permanently stuck after landing at multi-leg job destinations (FSC-3929)

When a multi-leg charter job was being configured in the dispatch planner, the system could create a job leg for an onward segment (e.g. KMCO to KSFB) and then clean it up if no passengers ended up needing that leg. The cleanup removed the leg itself but left the previous leg still pointing to it. When the pilot later landed and the system tried to process the arrival, it followed that broken reference and crashed. Every automatic retry hit the same error.

The orphan cleanup now properly maintains the leg chain when removing empty legs, matching the behaviour that already existed in the manual leg deletion path. A migration repairs the one affected job in production.

Bug Fixes

Route preview now correctly handles "price out" pricing strategies

When previewing a pricing strategy with "price out" enabled, the preview was not actually pricing out the matching demand. Instead, it applied whatever surcharge value had been set before toggling "price out" on. Passengers who should have been completely excluded from the route were still appearing in the preview with a boarding priority. This made it look like the strategy wasn't working. The preview now matches what would actually happen when the strategy is applied.

Cabin class display now reflects upgrades (FSC-3921)

When passengers were upgraded to a higher cabin class (e.g. economy passengers moved to business), the Job Information dialog and Flight Map views still showed the original cabin class. This made it look like upgraded passengers were still in their original class, which was confusing when reviewing seat allocations.

The demand badges and seat breakdowns now show the effective cabin class (after upgrades), so what you see matches what's actually happening on the aircraft. This applies across the Job Information dialog, individual job leg rows, and the dispatch plan summaries.

The seat map also suffered from this issue and has been fixed. Previously, upgraded collaborative passengers would fall back to showing their native class placement because the upgrade metadata wasn't being propagated correctly. This was a display bug only. The actual boarding, pricing, and upgrade logic was working correctly. Passengers were boarding and being charged the right amount. Your demand numbers and pricing strategy behaviour were unaffected. The fix simply makes the seat map and cabin breakdowns match what's actually happening on the aircraft.

New Features

Company-to-company aircraft transfers (FSC-3912)

Companies can now transfer aircraft directly to another company without going through the classifieds marketplace. The transfer dialog shows a preview your net worth impact before confirming. Transfers are validated against the receiving company's AOC level (the aircraft's MTOW must be within their certification), aircraft ownership limits for free users, and a net worth floor (the sender's net worth cannot go negative as a result of the transfer). Any active classified listing on the aircraft is automatically cancelled when transferred.

Collaboration dashboard map view (FSC-3886)

The Collaboration Dashboard now includes a Map tab that visualises collaborative passenger flows between airports. You can toggle between inbound and outbound views, hover over airports to see passenger counts and cabin class breakdowns, and click on airports to open the detail dialog.

Return route creation (FSC-3716)

When creating a new route in the Operations Cockpit, you can now tick an "Also create return route" checkbox. After the outbound route is created, the form immediately re-opens with departure and arrival airports swapped and pricing copied over, ready for you to review and adjust.

Broker listing price decay (FSC-3898)

Aircraft listed for sale through a broker now gradually reduce in price over time. Prices drop by 5% of the original listing price for every 30 days the listing remains unsold, down to a floor based on what the broker originally paid. Reduced listings show the original price struck through alongside the current price in the classifieds marketplace. You can also filter and sort by discount to find deals.

Improvements

Routes with insufficient slots now display in red (FSC-3740)

Routes that are disabled due to insufficient airport slots now render as red lines on the Operations Cockpit map, making network problems visible at a glance. Manually disabled routes remain transparent as before. Hovering over a problem route (either on the map or in the routes dock) highlights it in red at full opacity.

Aircraft valuations now use market value

Aircraft are now valued at their current market price (based on aircraft type) rather than their original purchase price. This affects net worth calculations, transfer previews, and classified sale gates. All existing aircraft valuations have been updated accordingly. As a result, your company's net worth may have increased as a result of this.

Broker purchase prices adjusted

The price brokers pay when purchasing your aircraft has been rebalanced. Free users now receive 60% of market value (previously 80%) and premium users receive 70% (previously 85%).

Net worth safety gate on classified sales

Selling an aircraft through the classifieds marketplace is now blocked if the sale would push the selling company's net worth below zero. Listings that would cause this are automatically cancelled, and the seller is notified with an explanation.

Base Operations "Owned" filter

A new filter in the Base Operations lens of the Operations Cockpit lets you show only airports where your company has base operations (buildings, operations centres, or agreements).

Bug Fixes

Collaboration dashboard delivery rate was stuck at 0% (FSC-3906)

The delivery rate metric on the Collaboration Dashboard wasn't updating because it was counting demand records rather than actual passengers. It now sums passenger counts correctly, and a trend indicator shows whether your delivery rate is improving or declining compared to the previous 30-day period.

New Features

Cabin upgrades for Routes

Passengers travelling on routes can now upgrade to a higher cabin class when they can afford the ticket price and seats are available. Economy passengers may upgrade to business or first class; business passengers may upgrade to first. Native-class passengers always get priority — upgrades only fill remaining seats.

Cabin upgrades for routes are available on the Premium Core plan and above. This is controlled at two levels. A company-wide setting enables or disables upgrades entirely (enabled by default), and individual routes can then be toggled independently (also enabled by default). Both settings are available in company settings and route configuration.

More realistic seat assignments

The seat map now distributes passengers the way a real flight looks. Passengers are spread across the cabin rather than clustered together, travelling groups are seated in adjacent blocks and passengers are nudged toward window seats where available. At high load the cabin fills front-to-back.

Bug Fixes

Free users could purchase more aircraft than their plan allows

The aircraft ownership limit for free accounts was not being enforced when buying from the classifieds marketplace. This has been corrected.

Some aircraft were incorrectly frozen from the V1 migration

A number of aircraft were left in a frozen state during the transition from V1 to V2. A migration has been applied to unfreeze these aircraft and restore them to normal operation.

Bug Fixes

Loan limits were being silently reduced by AOC level

When AOC-based loan multipliers were removed from the platform, they were only removed from the frontend — the underlying calculation was still applying them behind the scenes. As a result, companies may have been offered lower maximum loan amounts than intended. This has now been corrected, and loan limits are calculated consistently for all companies.

New Features

Stopover legs now show each flight separately (FSC-3582)

When a job includes a stopover, the in-flight map and statistics view now displays a tab for each individual flight segment. You can switch between tabs to see the flight path, landing telemetry, and performance graphs for each leg of the journey independently. The most recent flight is selected by default, and the position arrow and remaining route track whichever flight is active. Previously, stopover jobs showed everything blended together, which also caused an "Infinity" display error in landing stats.

Classifieds marketplace search and filtering (FSC-3715)

Several improvements have landed in the Used Aircraft Marketplace:

• Search now works. The search bar was non-functional — it has been fixed and now searches across tail number, aircraft type, manufacturer, model, and seller details.
• Filter by company. You can now filter listings by selling company, with company logos shown in the filter dropdown.
• Filter by sale type. A new filter lets you narrow results to broker sales (no company, sold through a broker) or direct company-to-company listings.

Bug Fixes

Collaborative demand could permanently vanish from the demand pool (T-869, FSC-3892)

Two related bugs were fixed that could cause passengers to silently disappear from collaborative routes, with no error shown.

The first: when a multi-leg job was reset after another company had already picked up the onward leg, the parent demand record could get stuck in an "assigned" state with no active obligations — making the passengers invisible to all demand queries. This had been patched with data migrations twice before; the root cause is now fixed properly.

The second: when a collaborating company removed a leg from their dispatch plan, the demand was recreated correctly but a stale internal reference caused it to be filtered out of all ready-to-depart checks. Passengers appeared to vanish from the route with no trace.

Both fixes include data migrations to repair affected records already in the database.

Pilots holding ranks above their global rank threshold weren't seeing the right jobs (FSC-3909)

The job marketplace was filtering by whether a user was eligible to apply for a rank, rather than by whether they already hold it. This meant a new user who had been legitimately progressed or assigned to a senior rank by a company owner would see far fewer jobs in the marketplace than expected — in some cases, none at all. Their held ranks now always pass through the filter, regardless of the global rank application threshold.

Free users couldn't remove their aircraft from classifieds after downgrading (FSC-3820)

The "remove listing" action was incorrectly gated behind a premium feature check, meaning users who had downgraded from premium were unable to delist their own aircraft or reclaim the fleet slot. This gate has been removed — delisting your own aircraft is always permitted.

Improvements

Owner pilots are handled correctly in the Aircraft for Hire marketplace (#1017)
When browsing hireable aircraft demand, pilots with an owner rank in the company now see a cleaner, more accurate experience. The hourly rate display is replaced with "Paid via dividends" — since owner pilots aren't paid by the hour — and the option to change rank is hidden, as it doesn't apply. Previously, owner pilots were shown the same rank-switching flow as regular roster pilots, which prevented them from accepting the job.

Net worth tooltip now explains how the figure is calculated (#1019)
The help text on the Net Worth figure in the Finance tab has been updated to make clear that liabilities (loans) are subtracted from the combined total of your assets and bank balance. The figure itself hasn't changed — just the explanation.

Bug Fixes

Typing in currency fields no longer mangles the value (#1018)
An issue where editing numbers in currency input fields could produce incorrect results (for example, deleting a digit from "300" and typing another could result in "20" instead of "200") has been fixed. The input field now preserves exactly what you type while you're actively editing.

Auto-Maintenance now performs the correct check level (FSC-3661)

When multiple maintenance checks were overdue at the same time, the system was incorrectly triggering a lower-level check (e.g. an A-Check) before performing the higher-level check that was actually due (e.g. a B-Check). Since a B-Check already covers everything an A-Check does, this caused unnecessary extra downtime and cost. The system now correctly identifies the most comprehensive check due and performs that directly.

Collaboration dashboard no longer shows passengers who aren't ready (FSC-3818)

The collaboration dashboard was including legs where passengers were still in transit between connections and not yet ready to board. It now only shows legs where passengers are actively waiting to depart, giving a more accurate picture of what needs servicing.

Create Charter Mode now applies the correct demand filter (FSC-3904)

Reported by community member milliotseb. Create Charter Mode was applying an "amount available" filter when the option to sync filters was selected instead of the "group size" filter. This caused fewer charter proposals to appear than expected, incorrectly excluding demand that could be served in smaller groups. It now correctly applies the group size filter instead.

Charter bonus exploit prevention (FSC-3885)

The charter bonus structure could be exploited by splitting a single journey into many short legs across separate jobs, multiplying the payout. Now, each company can only earn one charter bonus per passenger group, regardless of how many legs they operate. Normal charter revenue without the bonus is still earned on subsequent legs.

Stability fix for aircraft reporting (FSC-3905)

An out-of-memory database error could occur when certain sitreps were generated under load. This has been resolved.
